36' PJ Gooseneck Trailer non-deck over F/S or Trade
I'm putting this out as a feeler. I'm considering selling or trading my 36' goosneck, the deck itself is 36' + the gooseneck. Trailer has all new led lights, new brakes and new tires. The trailer tows great, but I'm over my CGVW hauling two full size K5's with my 2500HD. I'm looking for $4800 outright or trade for an equal 26-28' gooseneck. I'll work on getting pictures in the next few days.

Dometic propane/110 volt v fridge
I have a great working 120/propane fridge for sale..I pulled it from my 1993Chautue travel travel and it doesn't fit into my new conversion.I had to install a small micro sized two way.
It works great and kept everything frozen when turned on the coldest setting.The door seals are perfect as well..I can plug it in to show you the 120volts work and may be able to hook up the propane. Its about 5ft tall and 3 feet wide.. Need it gone as i really don't have the room to keep it. 350 but will trade for whatever

This article uses a study of industrial firms in the Scottish burgh of Kirkcaldy to demonstrate high and rising survival among family firms during the first half of the twentieth century. Survival rates, however, were not constant and trends are linked to the evolving relationship between family and firm. In particular, it is argued that the adoption of limited liability increased the chances of firm survival, but also altered the character of family-owned firms. Finally, th article considers the reasons for a rise in exits in the 1950s and 1960s.

When zydeco star Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band take the stage Sunday at the fifth annual Louisiana Cajun-Zydeco Festival in the French Quarter, they might experience some flashbacks from the 2011 Grammy Awards in February, when they won their first award for best zydeco or Cajun music album.
They got love from the Recording Academy, which finally, after years of lobbying by artists, recognized the genre and created the category six years ago; and by appearing for the first time at the Cajun-Zydeco Festival, they'll be getting love from New Orleans, a city in which the genres have been long overshadowed by indigenous funk, jazz and brass music.
The festival is part of the third annual Vieux To Do, a collaborative trifecta of French Quarter festivals that also includes the French Market Creole Tomato Festival and
It was ironic because, at the time, Carrier was spreading zydeco to a world largely unaware of its existence, first on tour with Terrance Simien -- who also will be performing at the Cajun-Zydeco Festival -- in 1987 and '88, when Carrier was just a teen, and then, from 1989 on, after he formed the Bayou Swamp Band. He and other musicians in the first wave of zydeco artists to achieve international success, such as Buckwheat Zydeco, Rockin' Dopsie and Rockin' Dopsie Jr., "played for a lot of people who didn't know what (zydeco) was, " Carrier said. "They were like, 'Wow! Is that an accordion?' I would hear, 'Man, we want more of this.' "
Yet, any time the band headed east from Lafayette to tour, "I'd tour Baton Rouge, but then bypass New Orleans on my way to Mississippi and Alabama. And I'd think, 'Why?' "
Though zydeco has a devoted following among New Orleanians who frequent Rock 'n' Bowl's zydeco night on Thursdays or Bruce Daigrepont's Cajun jam Sunday nights at Tipitina's, it has kept a fairly low public profile in New Orleans. The Louisiana Cajun-Zydeco Festival, one of several small festivals introduced five years ago by the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation, has helped give it a proper spotlight in this music-clogged town, said foundation spokesman Scott Aiges.
"There's always a little bit here, a little there, " Aiges said of the genres. "You'll definitely hear it at French Quarter Festival and Jazz Fest, but we certainly didn't have a festival that really celebrated it. So, five years ago, when we set out on creating these small festivals that celebrate different aspects of our cultural gumbo, it was a natural to focus on zydeco music. There were a lot of (artists) that, when I called them, they were like, 'Yeah, wow, I don't get to play (New Orleans) very much, so yes, I'll do it.' "
Attendance, which the foundation calculates from beverage sales, has grown steadily each year, with 12,000 guests in 2009 and 16,000 in 2010, Aiges said. The festival is bracing for another bump in attendance this year, and has added two more vending booths to accommodate the crowds. The festival features two music stages at the Old U.S. Mint, with one under the oak trees in Esplanade Avenue -- the pavement is better for dancing, Aiges said -- and the other adjacent to Barracks Street. Beausoleil avec Michael Doucet will return after not appearing at last year's festival. New faces include Ray Abshire, Horace Trahan, and Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas.
As for Carrier, the festival probably won't beat his Grammy win, which was "unbelievable -- the most spectacular show in the world, " he said. However, a headlining spotlight from Cajun country's kissing cousin won't be bad, either.
New Orleans "has definitely become more of a zydeco town -- and it's overdue, " Carrier said.

Analyzing the Market for Convenience Stores: The Changing Convenience Store Industry.
abstractThe location quotient is a useful tool for measuring the supply and demand for convenience stores in a local market. The calculation is simple and the concept is easy for the reader of an appraisal report to understand. This article provides information about how to construct a location quotient, where to obtain the data, and how to interpret the result.
To plagiarize Snoopy, that great American literary ace, "It was a dark and stormy night...."
You drive up to the nearest convenience store to get gas. Without having to leave the car, a robotic arm from the dispenser reaches over and inserts the gasoline nozzle into a special cap on your vehicle. Your car is automatically fueled. Without having to open your wallet, an electronic reader scans a computerized sticker on the left side of your windshield and reckons the cashless transaction. You drive off into the night.
Such is the capability for customers in Sacramento, California as the result of a test market program by Shell Oil Company that recently unveiled the latest in fuel sales technology.
Petroleum marketing properties have completely changed over the last 30 years. Gone are the service bay buildings of the 1950s and 1960s. Today, convenience stores account for about 60% of all retail gasoline sold in this country (Interview with David Doane of the National Association of Convenience Stores, Alexandria, Virginia). [1] Not only can customers buy the old staples of milk and bread, but co-branded fast food from national chains, such as McDonald's, Burger King, and Taco Bell are now offered for the customers convenience, as well as automated teller machines and lottery tickets.
The consumer trend is for more and more convenience; this is driving the changes affecting this industry. These changes appear both in technology and store design; point-of-sale (POS) scanners and pay-at-the-pump technology are being used at an increasing number of stores. But the latest technology is expensive. In 1997, the average required investment nationwide for land, building, equipment, and start-up inventory was $1,122,000 per store. [2] With an average store size of 2,900 square feet, the start-up cost is $397.00 per square foot of building area. [3] Because of the high cost of a modern convenience store, there is an impetus in this highly competitive industry to increase sales. To attract more families, women, and senior citizens, the innovative marketing concept of the "quick serve restaurant" (QSR) has been added to new store designs. The QSR is a scaled-down version of a fast-food restaurant that is part of the store building. It makes the convenience store a destination shopping experience.
How to Analyze the Local Market
In the last ten years, the number of convenience stores operating in the United States has grown by 57%. [4] With 95,700 [5] convenience stores operating in the nation today, the chances are that you will be asked to appraise a convenience store sooner or later, or more than likely you will be asked to appraise a proposed convenience store. So, you ask yourself, How do I analyze the local market? How can I tell if the local market for the subject is oversupplied or under-supplied? One tool that will help you answer this question is the location quotient. The location quotient is a common and simple calculation that has been widely used in a variety of regional economic applications, and it lends itself well to analyzing the local convenience store market. But, perhaps most importantly, the concept is easy for your reader to understand; the location quotient is a measure of the tendency for a particular type of business or industry to locate in an area. [6]
To make the calculation for the particular location quotient, you will need the following four numbers:
1. The population of your local market area. We will call that "Xa," the population of "Area A." Where to Get It: In smaller cities and towns, it is often appropriate to define the market as the entire community. The market could be a neighborhood or segment of a larger metropolitan area. In any case, this is one of the easiest numbers to obtain. Local government agencies, the U.S. Census, and local universities will nearly always have the figures you need.
2. The number of existing convenience stores operating in the market area. We will call that "Ya," the store count of "Area A."
Where to Get It: If your market area is a small, rural community you may simply count them for yourself. Use the Yellow Pages listing for "Convenience Stores" as a back-up reference. These listings are on the Internet and many of these websites will even plot them on a map for you. If your subject is a freeway location, the market area may extend several miles along the traffic corridor. You are trying to isolate all businesses selling gasoline that are potential competitors.
3. The population for the benchmark region. We will call that "Xb," the population of "Area B."
Where to Get It: The overall region is most easily defined as the state the subject is in. This figure will be used only as a distribution benchmark; it has nothing to do with defining the market area. Most of the time, you can proceed on the assumption that the distribution of convenience stores throughout the state is a normal market distribution. The location quotient analysis is going to tell you whether your local market has more or less people per store than this region you are using as a benchmark. State population figures are readily available; State agencies, such as the Commerce Department, usually have the figures you want.
4. The number of convenience stores in the overall region. We will call that "Yb," the store count of "Area B."
Where to Get It: The best source for this number is the National Association of Convenience Stores, an industry association that publishes the state-by-state count each year. Their Website is located at www.cstorecentral.com. See the End Notes of this article for additional information about navigating this site. Also see www.c-store.com for similar state-by-state counts and store growth projections for each state. This information is free of charge and no registration is required.
Make sure you match the year of the population count to the year of the published store count. It is doubtful that the store distribution for the state changes much from one year to the next, so, there is little danger in using a population figure and store count from a couple of years ago. What you are striving for is the numerical relationship between population and stores; the actual number of stores does not necessarily have to be for the current year. As a matter of fact, the store counts usually trail by at least a year before they are compiled and published by the industry.
Now you are ready to fill in the following formula:
(Xa/Xb) [divided by] (Ya/Yb)
Xa = population of area "a"
Xb = population of area "b"
Ya = store count of area "a
Yb = store count of area "b"
The result will usually be a number that is either greater than or less than one. If the number is less than one, for example .55, then the subject market has insufficient population to support the existing number of convenience stores, at least as compared to the normal distribution. In this example, the population would have to nearly double (it is at 55%) before the number of persons per store in the local market would be comparable to the region as a whole. If the number is greater than one (1), then the local market has more people per store than the benchmark region and perhaps new store development would be attractive in that particular market. If the location quotient is one (1), then the local market matches the regional distribution of stores to population.
Bonners Ferry: A Case Example
The location quotient is useful for quantifying what might otherwise be conjecture and guesswork about supply and demand in the local market. However, be circumspect in applying the results. Other factors play an important role also, including:
* Proximity to traffic corridors such as major highways
* A higher percentage of travelers as opposed to local customers who may patronize the subject
* Unusual traffic count
In other words, the conclusions of a location quotient study should be judiciously applied.
To help you understand the ramifications of a location quotient analysis, consider an actual example from an appraisal of an existing convenience store in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. Bonners Ferry has a population of about 2,500 people. The community is located at the northern edge of Idaho near the Canadian border and is rather isolated, as it is 30 miles from the nearest community of any size. So, the market is fairly well defined as being the community itself. The town lies along U.S. Highway 95, the major north-south highway in the state. By rural Idaho standards, the traffic count here is unusually high at 9,000 vehicles per day. The subject convenience store was an older remodeled building, but the fuel service was entirely modern and competitive. Recently, three new, well-capitalized convenience stores had opened that were direct competitors with the subject. Each of these three new stores had an investment of about $1 million each. If this were not bad enough, Bonners Ferry had ten businesses selling gasol ine. These ten businesses ran the gamut from older, under-capitalized, service-bay buildings at the bottom of the market to three, high-end, modern, national oil company, convenience stores with co-branded fast food quick serve restaurants. The subject was between these extremes.
The calculations for the location quotient for convenience stores in Bonners Ferry looked like this:
Population of Bonners Ferry: 2,491
Convenience stores in Bonners Ferry [7]: 10
Population of Idaho: 1,163,261
Convenience stores in Idaho: 513
(2,491/1,163,261) [divided by] (10/513)

The normal population distribution across the nation is about 2,800 people to one convenience store. [8] The industry considers a population base of 3,000 people per store to be a desirable threshold; in Idaho, the ratio is 2,268 people per store. With only 2,500 people and ten businesses selling gasoline, the Bonners Ferry market is clearly in trouble. The location quotient for Bonnets Ferry is 0.1097. In other words, Bonners Ferry has only 11% of the population necessary to support the number of existing convenience stores. In this situation, sales levels and margins for the stores in Bonners Ferry are expected to be below that of national averages because there are simply too many operators in the market. The location quotient shows a substantial disincentive for more convenience stores to locate there.
It can be concluded that, in Bonnets Ferry, some operators will fail. In the highly competitive fuel sales business, the survivors will be those operators who are well capitalized and have invested in the latest technology. Ironically, for Bonnets Ferry, that group includes the latest entrants into the market, not the established stores. Each of these three new stores has the latest in fuel sales innovation including pay-at-the-pump technology and co-branded fast food. The older stores that had been in town for decades failed to invest in the latest technology and are now nearly functionally obsolete. Their market share will continue to decline. Either they will diversify into other product lines, or they will be forced from the market as supply and demand for convenience stores in Bonners Ferry balances out. So, although the location quotient spelled the death warrant for the older stores, for one or two of the newer stores it might actually provide some justification for investing in the latest, most innov ative equipment to muscle out the competition and enter an already overly competitive market. An appraisal of one of the new stores might not necessarily conclude that they should close their doors even though the location quotient shows an oversupplied market.
The subject in Bonners Ferry is situated along U.S. Highway 95. The higher-than-normal traffic is mostly in-town commuters rather than out-of-town travelers, so the high traffic count does not justify a greater-than-average number of stores. Four other competitors, including all three of the new stores, also had frontage on the highway, so the subject had no location advantage. My advice concerning the subject property was to liquidate the fuel service equipment and convert the property to another use. The reason for this harsh assessment was that at least $500,000 in additional capital investment would be required to make the subject competitive with the three new stores in Bonners Ferry. Four convenience stores in Bonners Ferry, even if they are the best the industry now offers, are still too many. The location quotient was one tool that helped analyze this market.
The location quotient can help appraisers to focus and get down on paper what may be obvious to a market observer. Other sections of the appraisal report, such as the highest and best use analysis and portions in the cost approach describing functional and external obsolescence, can benefit from a location quotient study. The location quotient analysis helped me, perhaps it will help you too. In the key of Snoopy, in a characteristic root beer toast, "Here's to the man who invented the location quotient."

Each business was carefully described in another section, "Assessment of the Competition." Although this might arbitrarily lower the location quotient for Bonners Ferry, these properties were viewed as competitive with the subject and the appraiser took into consideration what effect their inclusion was having on the result. Even if these two properties were omitted, Bonners Ferry is still significantly oversupplied with convenience stores.

LaGrange Theatre
80 S. La Grange Road,
La Grange,
12 people favorited this theater

I went here with my husband to see "Tropic Thunder", which was playing in theatre #3. The others on this site are correct. The renovations are very tacky. The above person who said "the former wooden beltline below the wall curtains having been raised to approximately 6' with what appears to be a florecent backlighting over the murals." is absolutely correct.
Having the curtains at a hieght of over 6' is detrimental in many ways:
1) Your eye now gravitates upwards.
2) The glare from the screen bounces off these murals. Having the belt rail closer to the floor used to give the place a more pleasing subdued tone.
3) The sound now bounces off the walls. Again, having the curtains lower was acoustically beneficial because they absorbed the sound better.
They would have been better off cleaning and repairing the place. The curtains should have remained as they were, either cleaned or replaced, but at the same level.
This is really a shame because I like this theatre. The staff is very friendly, the prices are good and the LaGrange books good 2nd run films. I've even seen "Letters From Iwo JIma" and "The Counterfeiters" here. I'll probably still patronize the place, but I wish someone like Classic Cinemas would take it over.
I went there today to see Zohan.I have not been there in a year or so,and was wondering when the mercy killing of this theatre will happen? Whomever is running it is driving it off a cliff,they cannot do a better job if they tried! What a sticky floored,busted seat,overflowed toilet,haphazardly painted,torn up theatre! The Granada when it was in the process of being TORN DOWN ,was in better shape than this dive.This degradation has happened quickly and recently! WAY TO GO!!!
It may have cost me my job there, but this is exactly what I was trying to get across to the owners the whole time. Not only do they not know—or, seemingly, care—what they're doing, they wouldn't even listen to the suggestions of someone who spent 5 years in the industry. Scott, you're not overreacting. That theater was doomed the day Horton's obtained it. I say it's time to give the Johnson family a call and have Classic Cinemas buy the theatre and restore it the right way (ironically, most people think the LaGrange is part of the Classic Cinemas family anyway).
Actually LHAT would probably be a more appropriate organization, although THSA would probably be able to refer them to local resources.
…they need to step in to offer their guidance and assistance. The Hortons people are clearly in over their heads, they can't even form a long-term business plan with which to obtain additional funding from the village of LaGrange for continued restoration. Come to think of it, considering what's been done, maybe that's a good thing.
My point is, they need someone with the right head about them, someone with the right experience, managing this project of theirs.
It IS distressing.
Theater 2, not so much. It's being used as a "multimedia" theater, with a stage, directional lighting, and an overhead projector. Their plan is to use it for community functions and stage plays. Good idea, seems to function pretty well for that use. If they did nothing more with this theater, they'd be making a great decision.
Theaters 3 and 4 are the ones I'd call defaced, to similarly quote several others who have also seen the work. There are crude murals on the walls, with the former wooden beltline below the wall curtains having been raised to approximately 6' with what appears to be a florecent backlighting over the murals. Looks rushed, sloppy, and haphazard. Theater 3 has an American flag Uncle Sam theme that's delightfully random and pointless, with theater 4 sporting a similar tangent. Clean what was there, replace the seats, and that should have been it. Money would have been better spent restoring to something relevant and worthy of this historic structure rather than the current byproduct, something better suited for the walls of an elementary school.
The lobby is an abortion, an even bigger shame. Whoever is in charge of this thing hasn't a clue what they're doing and should really concentrate their efforts elsewhere. The THSA needs to step in somewhere.
By the time they're done there won't be anything left to landmark.
That sounds distressing. What do you mean by defaced? Where are the murals?
I am extremely disappointed with what has been done to the theater.
The new seats are great, however, theaters 2-4 have been defaced, there's no other way to put it. The classic look and feel of the former facade, however dirty and in need of cleaning, have instead been degraded with "murals" that are loud, shoddy, and irrelevant. If money to repair and improve the theater is in short supply, why was it spent on things like this?
The work being done in the lobby is unspeakable. It's so… yellow. 80s track lighting, concrete painted over, painted plywood, wiremolding…
Does Hortons have a business plan? Their most recent meeting with the LaGrange Board says… NO. They really need to hire someone who specializes in rehabbing and restoring old theater structures. Until then, there's a lot of money being wasted, and what little history is left behind, destroyed. Someone needs to step up and set things straight.
It must have been tough on the residents of LaGrange when the price went from $1.75 to $2.00 in 1998.
I may warrant noting that the statement regarding when ticket pries last went up is totally incorrect.
From 1983 to 1998, ticket prices were "As Always, Only $1.75".
In Mid-1998, prices were increased to $2.
The La Grange will be raising it's admission prices to $3.50 to help cover the costs of renovations. I wonder if that will affect the attendance at this second run house.
From the theatre's website:
'Remember When…
The Blues Brothers were on a "Mission from God"
"ET Phone home" made you cry
You were shocked that Vader was Luke's Father
These were playing the last time La Grange Theatre raised ticket prices! Starting April 2nd, we will be raising our ticket price to $3.50, to help in the continued renovation of our theatres.'
Please continue to patronize this theatre everybody. The owners are making an earnest attempt to stay in business.
It was nice meeting you the other night. I hope that I don't sound patronizing, but I am glad that you go out and enjoy movies too. And yes, "Letters From Iwo Jima" is a fantastic film.
I was at this theatre only once, and that was to see "Letters From Iwo Jima". As I pointed out on the page for the Music Box, I'm deaf but I enjoy watching movies just as much as everybody else does. I also enjoy going to the movies, but I'm limited to films with subtitles. So when this film was showing, my husband and I went out here to see it. Incidentally, it was one of the few theatres in Chicagoland that showed it.
Unfortunately, what we didn't realize was that the first several minutes of the film are in English, with no subtitles! So my husband, who is a "hearing person" tried "signing" for me so I could follow it (I can talk and lip-read, but I mainly use American Sign Language)! No matter, the rest of the movie is in Japanese with English subtitles (whew!) and quite frankly, it is one of the best movies I have ever seen.
The theatre seems a little run-down, but it looks like they are trying to do renovations. Unfortunately, we were in one of the un-renovated auditoriums! The seats are at a weird angle to the screen and they are very unforgiving. My rear-end was sore after almost three hours of sitting there, but it was a fine film. The people that work there seem very pleasant too!
If you haven't seen "Letters From Iwo Jima", rent it or buy it! It is great. We bought the DVD about a week after we saw it in the theatre. I was able to put the closed-captioning on so that I could better understand the English part.
OK, so I assume that with Tom gone either no one knows who is now "in charge" or no one cares, the place is closed or…
Tom, how about a report on the progress of the renovation? Will there be an open house?
The photo of the facade is circa 1978, however the photo of the lobby is pre-1940s, before theaters had candy concessions.
Wow, the LaGrange JUST became yuppie? Cripe, it's been yuppie since the late 80s…
My good friend and fellow CT'er Paul F told me about this theatre and so I went with my husband to see it. We saw SHREK THE THIRD here. I like this place. No, it's not the most modern, up-to-date place. But the employees are nice and the service is friendly. We "triple-dated" this past weekend: Me and my husband, Paul F. and his fiancee, and my husband's sister and her boyfriend. We saw 3:10 TO YUMA. We had dinner down the street from there.
This place certainly is certainly popular with the locals. That is not the problem. It does need a lot of work. It is old. Yes, it is subdivided, but it still has a certain charm. I wouldn't even mind if they kept it a four-screener. But, LaGrange has become "Yuppie." And belive me, "Yuppies" are a race of people who have no care for esthetics and can't see the intrisic value of having a nice, inexpensive theatre.
The value of the theatre is that it adds a touch of culture (something else Yuppies are antipathetic about) and individuality (ditto) to the area. Plus it can add $$ value to Downtown LaGrange. Hell, six of us made a trip from the City on the Metra, spent $$ in a local restaurant for dinner, and $$ in the theatre.
The status of this theatre should be changed to "Open/Renovating".
I've been trying to make an appointment at the historical society, but it's difficult to do around my work schedule. I'm trying to research some old newspaper articles I still have access to via UIC's electronic resources, but haven't had much luck. Thank you, though, to Matt Bischof. I still haven't located the doors or handles—I'm wondering if I'm looking in the wrong place. Maybe I just overlooked them. Or they could be buried under piles upon piles of seats.
Is any building really safe even if it's on the register? They tore down the DuPage Theatre in Lombard this year even though it had landmark status. I still don't understand how that happened.
By the wayâ€"Stan Thomas, a local teacher and the director of the LaGrange Hometown Players, asked me to pose this question to y'all:
Does anyoneâ€"especially you, Mattâ€"have any old pictures of the theatre? We'd like to put a collage together that we hope will adorn the walls of the LaGrange after the remodel. So far, we're pretty much limited to the postcard of the theatre and pharmacy from Digital Past, a few scans of the old marquee when it was still showing live theatre, and modern-day photos. Anything from the single-screen days or from the major renovations in the 1980s would be great.
By the way, before I forget—Stand
Tom –
Have you ID'ed the BK doors and/or BK door handles that used to be part of the front doors of the theater lobby? I believe they, like so many other "artifacts", were stowed in the basement. Big, 1" thick glass doors… and if they didn't keep the glass, I KNOW they kept the handles. Look in the corridors of the basement… that room before the entrance to the catacombs under the theaterswhere the letters, well, WERE kept (not sure if they're still there). Something else that would look great in a case, or maybe even a shadow box in the lobby!
Oh, and you're right… it's part of the Tivoli/Chicago heritage! Rapp & Rapp built the LaGrange, as well as so many others. The York, however, was originally designed by Elmer Behrns. Elmer Behrns is also known for St. Charles Illinois' Arcada Theater. The York is really quite similar to LaGrange in a lot of ways, having also been updated in the late 1930s by Roy Blass.
Interesting thing about Sam Katz… he not only founded BK, but he was the head of production for MGM; double-dipped the chip, you might say. Meanwhile, Barney Balaban was the chairman of Paramount Corp., however, he died in 1917, at which time his younger brother Abraham took the primary 'B' role.
Here's a good book (click link below) worth reading… great illustrations!
When are we going to see the theater listed here, Tom? –
Tom, did you check the "Black loose-leaf binders" I told you about at the Theatre Historical Society. These are the B&K books – a wealth of information; I think there is one for each neighborhood.

Hi, DC. what kind of efficiency should we be looking at for this converter.??
Im testing a smaller one at the moment, but for 50W out, its using 67W in. I have a number of different EI cores, salvaged, so i dont know the specs. thanks |

1) Sure D3 will work perfectly. However, what modeling doesn't warn you about is heat. With a standard diode, and the supply working at full power (400W), the diode will be dissipating ~36W! That's a lot of heat, not to mention you're losing a full volt of input voltage. Even if D3 was a Schottkey power diode, you'd still lose 0.3V and dissipate 10W. What's normally done is to put the diode in parallel with the input voltage with the cathode towards positive. That way it's out of circuit unless the battery is hooked up backwards - then it conducts blowing the fuse.
2) Yes. Paralleled FETs share current and improve performance. 4) The FF circuit is completely unnecessary. The feedback will compensate for input fluctuations & load. It just adds complexity and the potential for instability. 5) 4W of dissipation is still a lot. What savu said is correct - 1K or so is fine. For 4W of continuous dissipation you'll need a 10W resistor which is large and will require heatsinking. For the efficiency of the supply, the model may be able to predict what it will be, but there are so many variables, I could only guess. Plus, efficiency will vary with load making it even tougher to predict. 80 to 90% is a realistic range.

And which model of FET do you recommend to use? I'm thinking about IRF130 or IRF150.

I believe you need to look for something that tolerates more current than those...
You will blow those quite quickly i expect... Look for ultra low on-resistance and low gate impedance. Example: IRF3703 |

You can use some of the ultra-low on-resistance, super high current devices, but they're expensive. Plus, using a single device-per-phase tends to decrease reliability and surge tolerance. In a low voltage, high power SMPS, the average current running the supply is just a fraction of the instantaneous surge-current experienced each time that FET switches on. That peak current can be many times higher than the average current. So a 200A device seems like overkill, it really is just adequate.
The IRF3703 looks like a great device, but is only rated 30V VBRDSS. With a push-pull SMPS topology, when one phase is conducting, the other device experiences 2*Vin, plus some noise spikes. Since a car's electrical system can run at 14.4V, 30V can be easily be across the off-device. I recommend 50V VBRDSS devices at a minimum. What's done in industry, and I did in mine, is to use multiple devices paralleled so that each device is only switching a portion of the load. I used 3 X IRFZ42 FET's per transformer phase. But ultimately it's up to you. You know your budget, plus you know, or will have to figure out, your PCB, the mounting technique of the devices and rectifiers, and the chassis your project will require. These criteria can also impact your device choice as the project advances.

And why not to use three IRF2805 per transformer phase? this FET also have a low on resistance.

Yep. The IRF2805 looks ideal! And with three-per-phase, they should run cool even at full power continuously.
Have you identified the secondary, fast-recovery diodes yet? Have you reconsidered running D3 in series with Vin?

I agree on the IRF2805 - a good choise. I myself could even try IRF2804...
I just finished a car SMPS that could interest you. 440W 99% efficiency. PCB is only 6x15cm (2.4x6"). This might be a bit complex from the electronics point of view - it is full bridge dual core (E30). But the transformers are therefore crazy simple. Just one primary and one secondary. Which makes the utilisation of them ridiculously high, which results in a very high efficiency. |

1964 Philadelphia race riot
The neutrality of this article is disputed. (December 2014) |
The Philadelphia race riot took place in the predominantly black neighborhoods of North Philadelphia from August 28 to August 30, 1964. Tensions between black residents of the city and police had been escalating for several months over several well-publicized allegations of police brutality.[1]
This riot was one of the first in the civil rights era and followed race riots in Rochester, New York and New York City.
In 1964, North Philadelphia was the city's center of African American culture, and home to 400,000 of the city's 600,000 black residents.[2] The Philadelphia Police Department had tried to improve its relationship with the city's black community assigning police to patrol black neighborhoods in teams of one black and one white officer per squad car and having a civilian review board to handle cases of police brutality.[2]
Despite the improvement attempts of the Philadelphia Police Department, racial tensions had been high in Philadelphia over the issue of police brutality. The Philadelphia Tribune, the city's black newspaper, ran several articles on police brutality which often resulted in white policemen who were brought up on charges of brutality being acquitted.[3] The summer of 1964 however was at the peak of the civil rights movement with rioting breaking out in black areas of other northern cities such as New York, Rochester, Jersey City and Elizabeth[2] caused by incidents relating to police brutality against black citizens.
The Riots[edit]
The unrest began on the evening of August 28 after a black woman named Odessa Bradford got into an argument with her finance at 23rd Street and Columbia Avenue. She refused to move the car after stopping in the intersection to argue. The officers one black Robert Wells, and the other white, John Hoff,then tried to physically remove Bradford from the car. As the argument went on, a large crowd assembled in the area. A man tried to come to Bradford's aid by attacking the police officers at the scene, both he and Bradford were arrested.
Rumors then spread throughout North Philadelphia that a pregnant black woman had been beaten to death by white police officers. Later that evening, and throughout the next two days, angry mobs looted and burned mostly white-owned businesses in North Philadelphia, mainly along Columbia Avenue. Outnumbered, the police response was to withdraw from the area rather than aggressively confront the rioters.
Although no one was killed, 341 people were injured, 774 people were arrested and 225 stores were damaged or destroyed in the three days of rioting. Some of the tension was attributable to religion, with Black Muslims and black nationalists pitted against Black Baptist ministers who called for calm.[4]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (August 2014) |
Business activity in North Philadelphia declined even further after the riots, as many of the damaged or destroyed stores never re-opened for business. What was a middle and working class neighbohood quickly became lower class and poor and is still so today. The riots also helped to facilitate the political rise to power of Frank Rizzo, who favored more punitive approaches to crime.
In 1987, Columbia Avenue between Front and 33rd Streets was renamed Cecil B. Moore Avenue after the influential and often controversial Civil Rights leader. Although his role was limited, Moore has been regarded as a pacifying figure who helped quell the rioting. While present-day Cecil B. Moore Avenue is still largely impoverished, it has witnessed redevelopment, including expansion of the Temple University campus, such that the area around Broad Street is much more integrated with a mostly diverse student population.
Cultural references[edit]
A fictionalized version of the events of the Philadelphia riots of 1964 are depicted in the first season finale of the NBC television series American Dreams.

Freedom of Speech
Importing European and US Constitutional Models in Transitional Democracies
By Uladzislau Belavusau
Routledge – 2013 – 304 pages
Routledge – 2013 – 304 pages
This book considers the issue of free speech in transitional democracies focusing on the socio-legal developments in the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland. In showing how these Central and Eastern European countries have engaged with free speech models imported from the Council of Europe / EU and the USA, the book offers valuable insights into the ways States have responded to challenges associated with transformation from communism to Western democracy.
The book first explores freedom of expression in European and American law looking particularly at hate speech, historical revisionism, and pornography. It subsequently enquires into the role and perspectives of those European (mandatory) and US-American (persuasive) models for the constitutional debate in Central and Eastern Europe. The study offers an original interpretation of the "European" model of freedom of expression, beyond the mechanisms of the Council of Europe. It encompasses the relevant aspects of EU law (judgments of the Court of Justice and the harmonised EU instruments) as mandatory standards for courts and legislators, including those in transitional countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The book argues for de-criminalisation of historical revisionism and pornography, and illuminates topics such as genocide denial, the rise of Prague and Budapest as Europe's porno-capitals, anti-Semitism and anti-Gypsyism, religious obscurantism and homophobia, virulent Islamophobia, and the glorification of terrorism.
The research methodology in this study combines a descriptive case law assessment (comparative constitutional, public international, and EU law) with a normative critique stemming from post-structuralist scrutiny, rhetoric, postmodern legal movements, legal history, history of ideas, and art criticism.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars of, comparative constitutional law, law and society, human rights and European law as well as political philosophers.

Ireland Says 'Ciao' to Italian Travel Agents
Ireland Says 'Ciao' to Italian Travel Agents
27 Sep 2012
Fifteen top travel agents from around Italy enjoyed an action-packed visit to Ireland recently. Their fact-finding trip was the 'grand finale' of Tourism Ireland's Irlanda online training programme for Italian travel agents, designed to help them sell holidays to the island of Ireland. Each year, the top-performing 'VIP' (Very Irish People) travel agents are selected by Tourism Ireland to visit Ireland on completion of their training.
Their itinerary, designed by Fáilte Ireland, included a guided tour of the Kilbeggan Distillery Experience in Co Westmeath. They also visited Galway, where they enjoyed a walking tour of the city, and Connemara, where they visited Kylemore Abbey and Gardens. In Co Mayo, they paid a visit to Croagh Patrick and enjoyed a cycle along the Great Western Greenway route. They also visited Westport House and Gardens and had the chance to sample the produce at this year's Westport Food Festival.
Niamh Kinsella, Tourism Ireland's manager in Italy, said:
"As a reward for excelling in their training, this group of travel agents got to spend time in Ireland to experience some of the many things to see and do here. Familiarisation trips such as this are vital, as influential travel agents get to experience at first-hand the superb tourism product on offer here; we aim to enthuse the travel agents about the destination, so that when they return home they will be better equipped to advise their clients when planning and booking their holidays.
"Italy is an important market for tourism to the island of Ireland, with the latest CSO figures (for the period June-August 2012) showing an increase of +24% in Italian visitors, when compared with the same period last year. Tourism Ireland has a busy promotional programme in place this autumn, showcasing Ireland as a fantastic holiday destination. The visit of these travel agents was also a valuable opportunity to highlight 'The Gathering Ireland 2013' and the fantastic programme of events planned for next year. Tourism Ireland is working closely with influential travel agents, so that they will encourage their clients to come here next year to enjoy the festivals and events of 'The Gathering'."
Now in its eighth year, Tourism Ireland's Irlanda training programme consists of 50 questions about the island of Ireland tourism product; these include questions about our activity products, festivals and events, fly and drive holidays, accommodation, cities and general information.

text: A PRELUDE TO A GNUTT FEST Ever heard of Gnutt Fest? Jon and Allie Segura recently hosted a crawfish boil as a lead up to the 2010 "festival," with guests David Pomerleau, Marc Paradis, Andre Bohren, Tommy Suter, Gregory Bruce, Jayeesha Dutta, Kate Collins, Rebecca Stolz, Rebecca Bohren, Nicole Martin and Jacob "Jake" Rickoll. Gnutt Fest started as a party thrown at the home of Pomerleau where an unofficial krewe was formed loosely revolving around members of the band Johnny Sketch and The Dirty Notes. Each year, the current king jumps into Bayou St. John and names a new king to be crowned the next year. Pomerleau was the first king, Paradis second, Bohren third and Rickoll is the current king. Rickoll named Gregory "Trooper" Bruce as 2011 Gnutt Fest king. NORLI TURNS 10 The New Orleans Regional Leadership Institute celebrated 10 years of providing year-long training to a cross section of leaders from 10 parishes with a "Family Reunion" at Mardi Gras World-East Bank. Party-goers enjoyed New Orleans cuisine and libations as well as networking and reminiscing, with music provided by students from the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts and the Bucktown All-Stars. Attendees included Bob Brown, Cedric Grant, Zella May, Barbara and Ben Johnson, Charles Nelson, Betsie Gambel, Rob and Cassie Worley, Jackie Sullivan, Janet Fabre Smith, Betsy Brien, Keith Colvin, Sally Perry, Caitlin Cain and Angela Byrne SACHS WELCOMED TO bourbon street Rhonda Scott and Bobby Revere hosted a birthday party for Sandy Sachs, the new owner of the Bourbon Pub/Parade Disco, which bills itself as the longest continuously operating gay nightclub in the country. Staff, management and friends toasted Sachs and welcomed her as the new owner. Guests included David McElveen, Freddy Soule, Jimmy Franklin, Louis Sachs, Marc Anthoni, Tiffany Alexander, Savanna Delorean and Bourbon Pub operations manager Julien Artressia, who was crowned as one of the grand marshals of Southern Decadence XXXVI at a ceremony Wednesday. The 2010 Southern Decadence grand marshals will be Toby Laforte and Artressia. The event will occur over Labor Day weekend in the French Quarter. DOGS' AND CATS' BEST FRIENDS SpayMart held its eighth "Stars and Strays" Spring Gala and Auction at the Soniat-Duffosat Plantation House, home of Dr. and Mrs. Tim Pettitt, with food, drink, music and auctions.

Scott, R. H. and Whittle, R. T. (2005) 'Moment redistribution effects in beams.', Magazine of concrete research., 57 (1). pp. 9-20.
Moment redistribution in beams has traditionally been considered as an ultimate limit state (ULS) phenomenon closely associated with considerations of reinforcement ductility. This paper demonstrates that a significant proportion of this redistribution will almost always occur at the serviceability limit state (SLS) because of the mismatch between the flexural stiffnesses assumed when calculating moments for the ULS and those actually occurring at the SLS due to variations in the reinforcement layout along the member and the influence of cracking. This is demonstrated analytically in the paper and comments are made concerning the current recommendations in BS 8110 concerning member stiffness. Tests on 33 two-span beams are then presented, parameters investigated being values of redistribution, beam depth, reinforcement arrangements, concrete strength and the effect of brittle reinforcement. The results confirm that there is significant redistribution at the SLS and that there is scope for increasing the permissible limits for redistribution beyond those currently prescribed in design codes. This is supported by further modelling although it is shown that considerations of crack width may become a limiting factor.

Misc. Comments
- basically, a string quintet movement in the concertante manner (subjective comment: not a complaint, I quite like Spohr's later quintets some of which also are at least in places somewhat like concertos for violin and string quartet. And in the 20th century, Pettersson's 1st concerto for violin is for violin and string quartet :) Anyhow.-Schissel)

Published: March 2, 2006 Burnham-On-Sea student makes it to final four on TV's 'Project Catwalk'
Followers of Burnham-On-Sea fashion student Matt Bowkett were kept on the edge of their seats on Thursday night (March 2nd) when he only just managed to avoid being booted off Sky One's Project Catwalk TV show.
During this week's episode, the programme's five contestants were tasked with making an outfit for Top Shop, with the possibility of a design contract with the company up for grabs.
But the nerves were showing on the face of 21-year-old Matt, from Stoddens Road, after actress and model Liz Hurley dubbed the dress he designed as being "droopy and dreary."
The outfits had to be completed in just 12 hours - which didn't leave much time for the contestants to get their designs right.
Matt struggled with the colour and design of the dress he was making, and admitted "it was a challenge in the timeframe given."
And Liz Hurley said she "didn't like the way the outfit was put together," and asked: "Haven't I seen it somewhere before?"
It was then down to the judges to decide whether Matt should go home or survive another week.
Within three of the contestants given the green light to continue, the judges had to pick between Matt and fellow competitor Renato.
After a nervous few seconds, they voted in Matt's favour - and he therefore goes through to next week's episode when he'll be among the final four contestants.
Speaking to Burnham-On-Sea.com after Thursday's programme was aired, Matt said: "The nerves were about me, but I didn't think the dress I designd was all that bad. I thought it was fresh and different - even if the colours were a bit dreary."
Neither Matt's design or the other contestants dresses were picked to feature in Top Shop in the end.
Burnham-On-Sea.com exclusively reported in January how Matt is bidding for fashion stardom by appearing as a contestant on the TV series.
Project Catwalk gives young fashion designers the chance of a lifetime to have their collection shown at the 2006 London Fashion Week.
With £20,000 and a feature in Elle magazine also up for grabs, the competition is intense.
Project Catwalk airs on Sky One at 8pm every Thursday. Burnham-On-Sea.com is following Matt's progress during the series.
